Stats up later

Can someone remind me on msn later tonight

[steven_mcg]

Hmm...iffy...

For ASANSMSADB, the only real thing to do is keep to the sides and just flip it til the cows come home . Either ram it around from da sides and throw out the ring or clamp n pit.

For Clawdius, Im guessing its the same Love Bite from PTT5. If so, the idea is to keep to the sides (again ) and grapple the Hardox armour. Drag around a while and Pit. Maybe I can even puncture the flipper mechanics ala Razer against Firestorm

Group 2
Cosmic thunder 2 (Netherlands) V SYNDOS (Wales)

From what I can tell, this is a big verticle spinner design with a pretty mean blade. However, it does have a nice ground clearence at the front that I will try to exploit. The thing about verticle discs, is that they have a hard time hurting wedges because the wedge shape deflects the discs hitting power. Also take not the gyroscopic affects of verticle spinners. Even with that slow speed, the high speed of that blade could cause it to turn over on its own. With that in mind, Im going to use my superior speed to charge him at the start of the match. I will try to manuver to his sides, and try to slide underneath them and flip him over. Then just try to flip him out of the arena, if hes moving after the first flip.

Group 4
Cyberdemon (Japan) V Geforce (Jersey)

I would just like to say that Geforce easily has this one in the bag. I have personally designed Cyberdemon myself, and only a couple days ago came the the conclusion that it can not self-right and is not invertible. To put it simply, Cyberdemon is a y-spinner like Y-Pout. This means that the shell itself does not spin, unless the wheels are moving. If its upside-down then the wheels arent touching anything and cannot get the traction it needs to move. Because of this, the shell is not spinning and cannot use that poll to self-right. Sorry Tony, I should have made the design better for you.

Group 5
Back to rock (Belgium) V Cacodemon (USA)

From what I see in the picture, BtR is a pretty boxy design with steep side wedges. Im faster than he is, and I think I have a lower front than his or his sides so I should be able to get underneath him. From there try to pit him, I dont want this going on longer than it should. If he gets me on his scoop, back of immediatly. Try to avoid his blade and scoop anyway.

gluck all.

Tim your not in because your robots arent anything near realistic.

Kevin sorry but you only entered 1 robot i asked for 2 and also if i added you it would muck the groups up. However as a way of making it up to you if you selcet a real robot from rw or bb to fight against wolf i will write that fight as a special event in Martyns Robot Wars series 5

[[and I think I have a lower front than his or his sides so I should be able to get underneath him.]]

You cant just state youre lower than me because you somehow think so
check my stats, they quite clearly state both my front and my sides (due to skirts) have zero ground clearance, whereas your sides happen to have 1 mm of ground clearance

This should be a nice battle, pusher vs pusher, although I think Id win on pushing power, as my Eteks geared towards 18 mph should give more torque then his Dustins geared towards 20 mph

I also noticed I have a nice advantage on manouvrebility, as Cacodemons turning circle is 1 mm, while mine is 0 mm, which should give me the opurtunity to ram him sides on and lift him, and hopefully pit him, while severely damaging his skirts with my saw blade

if I cant pit him instantly, Ill try to flip him over, making his wedge useless, which should make it alot more easy to evantually pit him

and ofcourse, if he wont let himself be lifted, Ill just ram him straightly to the pit

Ill try to avoid getting caught on top of his front wedge. seeing the flatness of the wedge, I think Im quite well capable of using my nice acceleration to drive off his wedge almost instantly, when he tries to get underneath me

My SIDES have 1mm ground clearence, but my front has 0mm. Since they are both 0, it basically ends in a stalemate for stats so we would have to result to using another source, such as the pictures. My front, in my picture, compared to yours could probably get under. Also, skirts are infailable. Even then, my entire chassis has skirts all around.

Yeah, probably, but get under me first. If you ride up my wedge, Im pretty sure you arent going to push much.

You have the manuverability advantage, however I am faster so I should be able to just run off if you try to come to my sides.

You could try driving off... however when I have you on my wedge Im not going to stop and wait if you are going off. Im going to keep driving to stop you front getting off.
